Abstract

Background: Numerous studies show that the cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers total tau (T‐tau), tau phosphorylated at threonine 181 (P‐tau 181P), and amyloid‐β (1‐42) (Aβ 1–42) have high diagnostic accuracy for Alzheimer's disease. Variability in concentrations for Aβ 1–42, T‐tau, and P‐tau 181P drives the need for standardization. Methods: Key issues were identified and discussed before the first meeting of the members of the Alzheimer's Biomarkers Standardization Initiative (ABSI). Subsequent ABSI consensus meetings focused on preanalytical issues. Results: Consensus was reached on preanalytical issues such as the effects of fasting, different tube types, centrifugation, time and temperature before storage, storage temperature, repeated freeze/thaw cycles, and length of storage on concentrations of Aβ 1–42, T‐tau, and P‐tau 181P in cerebrospinal fluid. Conclusions: The consensus reached on preanalytical issues and the recommendations put forward during the ABSI consensus meetings are presented in this paper.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
